Abstract
Studies on radiation damage to biological entities have clearly shown the importance of red blood cell /BBC/ morphobiochemical and biophysical parameter monitoring in the study of the initiation and development of alterations after exposure to ionizing radiation.1 The observed structural rearrangement of erythrocyte membrane components and modification in cell membrane functions result in electrophoretic mobility changes,2 alterations in lectinbinding activity3 and haemolysis.4
